UNCLAS STATE 050705 SIPDIS FOR POL MIL NICKOLAS G. KATSAKIS E.O. 12958: N/A TAGS: DA ETTC KOMC RS UK SUBJECT: BLUE LANTERN PRE-LICENSE END USE CHECK ON APPLICATION 05-050101397 ¶1. This is an action message. See paragraphs 2-6. ¶2. The Department's Office of Defense Trade Controls Compliance (PM/DTCC) requests post assistance in conducting a pre-license check for the export of radiation tolerant DC/DC converters to Russia. Post is requested to complete this Blue Lantern check within 30 days. Lack of response to a Blue Lantern check will affect pending and future licenses involving parties to this license. ¶3. Reason for request: the Russian entities listed on this license application have no licensing history with our office. The requested commodity is designed for use in low earth orbit satellites and launch vehicles. The license application states that the commodity will be used in a fire alarm and security system (FASS) at a nuclear power plant. ¶4. ACTION: Please contact the Foreign End User, Russian Ministry of Atomic Energy, to determine if they can confirm this specific order for components, and the use of these components by the Foreign Consignee TENZOR for a FASS intended for the Novovoronezh Nuclear Power Plant. ¶5. Contact the Novovoronezh Nuclear Power Plant. Inquire with Novovoronezh to ascertain if they can confirm this specific order for components, and the use of these components by the Foreign Consignee TENZOR for a FASS intended for the plant. ¶6. Finally, please contact Foreign Consignee JSC Instrument Plant TENZOR. Ask TENZOR to explain why they need radiation tolerant satellite components for the FASS of Novovoronezh. (A nuclear plant expert contacted by PM/DTCC did not understand why radiation tolerant components would be used in a FASS because such systems are not located in radioactive areas.) Also ask TENZOR if all of the requested components will be used in the Novovoronezh plant FASS, or were any extra components ordered for stockpiling and use on another program? END ACTION. ¶7.
